[fg-arc] MESOCA 2015 - CFP - Extended Deadline

[Andreas Winter]

CALL FOR PAPERS

MESOCA 2015, IEEE 9th International Symposium on the Maintenance and 
Evolution of Service-Oriented Systems and Cloud-Based Environments
http://mesoca.etil.ca

Co-located with the 31th IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution 
(ICSME 2015), Bremen, Germany, http://www.icsme.uni-bremen.de 

BACKGROUND
Software development in a global environment, based on service provisioning, 
discovery and composition, is substantially influenced by two important areas: 
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Cloud Computing. From a maintenance and 
evolution perspective, both of them are confronted with two important challenges: 
deployed service-oriented systems will have to be maintained and evolved, and 
legacy systems will continue to use service-orientation to make their legacy 
functionality available to other systems and applications. 

SYMPOSIUM GOALS
The main goal of MESOCA 2014 is to create a focal point and an ongoing forum for 
researchers and practitioners to share results and open issues in the areas of 
service-oriented and cloud-based systems, focusing on maintenance and evolution issues.

We are looking for contributions on topics such as:
• Tools, techniques and methods to support migration to service-oriented architecture 
and cloud computing environments
• Evolution patterns of service-oriented and cloud-based systems
• Transition patterns to service-oriented and cloud environments
• Governance to support system evolution in service-oriented and cloud environments
• Leverage of service-orientation best practices in cloud environments
• Case studies of migration to service-oriented and cloud environments
• Model Driven Engineering for migration to services
• Reengineering legacy code for creating services

We are soliciting two types of papers, as follows: 
• Full papers (up to 8 pages)
• Short papers (up to 4 pages)

IMPORTANT DATES
Submission Deadline: June 19, 2015
Acceptance Notification: July 27, 2015
Camera Ready: August 10, 2015
Symposium: October 2, 2015

Further publication of extended papers in a journal will be announced soon.
